I'm brand new here, and I have to ask...am I just coming in at a bad time or is there always this much trash talk about the players? I've seen it on pretty much every single thread I've read so far...not what I was expecting!

I don't have any hate for the Djoker. I'm not here to share my opinion but to see what you guys think about it!! all the posts are arguing my opinion. thats not why I posted this.

Edit2:

this is not the way I'd like to see professional tennis players behave. They're trained to stay in the zone, and obviously the guy must have been an arse, but there are other ways around it. What's the chair umpire for?

You should really consider all the facts before posting this.

I was at this match, this fan was chirping him for a while before djoko confronted him (and djoko did it pretty calmly too). Afterwards security came and warned the fan that if he does it again he'll get thrown out. The crowd then even booed security for not throwing him out and only giving him a warning.

Don't know much about "shut up", but as far as "be quiet" is concerned, he was absolutely right.

Djoko*****es were awful. They were screaming and jumping throughout the match like monkeys in the circus. And in that episode the linesman called "out", the Djerks split the stadium with screaming, Federer went to the line, checked the shot, wiped off the print, and was returning quietly to his baseline.

Everybody understood that Federer admitted the shot in, and stopped making noise. The Djerks continued screaching ORDERING Federer to tell the umpire that the shot was in. At this moment Federer kindly asked them to be quiet.

I was very greatful to him because this well-mannered sweet-voiced family nearly destroyed my ears.

First, do not pretend to be stupid and associate his behavior as "kind".

Second, no matter what situation, you don't tell a person twice your age to shut up...or to be quiet. That is the respect part...especially if it is your opponents mother...

After reading your comments, I truly don't expect you to understand my point.

Get it straight: the comment is about exteremist habits on the board, not just this thread--which serves another example of said habits (and why so many are criticizing this BS thread). But your flame is on notice.

Thanks for playing.

no, your comment was singling out the so called federer extremists like they are the only bunch of fanatics on this board, leaving out the likes of the nadal extremists, the sampras extremists or Williams extremists like yourself etc etc ...
